Why did you decide to do an MBA?
I decided to do an MBA to further my leadership skills as well as improve my business fundamentals to gain more confidence for future roles. I was aiming to further my career and work on improving my confidence while speaking up in discussions. I had a science background with some finance experience along with data analytics but I had never taken a business course previously. I was interested in expanding my skillsets to be more applicable in business contexts.
What is the most significant thing you've learned at Ivey?
The most significant thing that I've learned at Ivey is how to problem solve and think on my feet. There are various situations where you have to think on the spot and get comfortable being uncomfortable whether that's being cold called in class or impromptu presentations. These experiences have made me much more confident speaking in front of the class as well as being comfortable being incorrect sometimes. It is a great opportunity to broaden your perspectives on things when learning from your classmates and peers.
